      Plugging in a second fan probably would cause that poor psu to quit.

      2070 to 3070 lol

      I'm waiting for 4000 series, but I his defence the 3070 gets close to 60fps in 4k, close enough that with vrr it's playable. Also the hdmi 2.1 output means you can output 4k120 (or at the very least not chroma subsample 4k60 output), between that and dlss upscaling you can get pretty good looking 4k120. You could do 1440p at high frames on the 2070, but tv upscalers kinda suck with 1440p outputs, hell even without dlss I'd rather use the graphics card upscalers but still a 4k120 image.

      Anyway, the point is I've thought about the pitfalls of having only hdmi 2.0 on my graphics card much more than is healthy.

      I have an undersized case from 2013 and i can asure you the 3070 wouldt fit. The 1060 mini barley fits if you remove the front panel and move the hardrives half outside to give it space.

    i always think of sid meiers civilisation when i hear about fukuyama. end of history and civ i came out right about the same time and have the same empty-headed western triumphalism that all of human history has been a steady linear march upward into rational enlightenment, leading to this one shining moment of early 90s neoliberalism. and the only real advance left to humanity is to bring neoliberalism to the one place that hasnt been corrupted by capitalism, space

    makes absolute sense that hes a g*mer

        Civ 4 requires fascism as your ideology to build Mt. Rushmore so that's cool.

          Yep, and Civ 3 Communism has high corruption and mostly just good at war. Fascism has low corruption and slightly worse at war mongering, and democracy has the lowest corruption and the most peace loving of all governments.

            Add another one to the "liberals hate socialists more than they hate fascists" pile

    He needs it to play Civ. He doesn't play any of the good ones though, he exclusively plays Civilization Revolution.
